Pros

Great Benefits Good Stocks + bonus Healthcare and Eyecare covered

Cons

I dont work in the main office in Dublin, and due to the nature of my job I dont have an option to work from home (always on site from Monday to Friday) No one on the team is allowed come in late to work even for ten minutes, if anyone is late than we have to slack the manager with an explanation, My manager just keep piling on the work without any let up and is changing the priority of the projects on a whim, The moral of the team is so low that no one here in my team enjoys their jobs anymore, We dont have any social outings at alls,

Pros

Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

Cons

Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
